Still if you worked on something whole day you should have commits that someone could pick up.

Let’s say that last note of the day does not have to go to repo.

But I would expect some commit chain that would be useful produced and pushed.

Personally, I very rarely push commits unless I’m about to open a PR.

A coworker fell off a ladder and broke both his arms. We had to look at his commits to figure out what he had gotten done. It was worthless. Absolute trash. His finished code was always top notch, but his WIP code … trash.

It was easier to ignore it and start from first principles than to try and pick up where he left off.

If your philosophy is to do a PR at least every few days then the negative impact of this was likely negligible, especially comparing to have a fellow dev being out with having broken arms for a few months.

If you do PRs every few weeks then that could be a bigger issue. But then this should be a lesson to just not do that. Merge small steps often. It has tons of advantages.
